Words aren't bandaids
for wounds of the heart
and promises aren't plane rides
against the distance that keeps us apart
Your absence is the loudest sound
I keep its' echoes for when you're not around

You can only send
so many postcards
before words like "love"
become a language so dead
your own tongue has forgotten how to speak it
You can only mend
a heart so many times
before "irreparably damaged"
becomes a definition on its' label
before you start to pretend
that the space between them and you
isn't tearing the two
apart

how can it be
with so many around
I still want you here with me

You cannot build a body
solely from pretty words

i just want my innocence back
but once lost, it can never be found

i just want to go home
but that is no longer a place rather an unreachable person

i just miss my daddy
but he doesn't really care about me anymore

i just don't want to be a liar anymore
but no one can handle the truth

i'm just sick of breaking his heart
but i have a track record of shattering everything i touch

it just hurts knowing you're not around anymore
but there's not much more i can do after begging on my knees

i just don't know where I'm going from here
but i guess it doesn't matter anyway

i just feel really alone
but i'm surrounded by people who claim to love me

i just want him to hold me*
but he's miles away
